As our region explodes in growth, the Land Use and Infrastructure Committee continues our commitment to enhancing and preserving the natural beauty of the North Alabama.

Our committee meets regularly to determine the priorities of our communities, make progress on strengthening connectivity, and determine what efforts would be most effective toward those common goals. Recognizing that quality of life in the region is a driving factor in securing and retaining a workforce, the incomparable biodiversity and variety of natural resources are crucial to its continuance.

The Tennessee Valley’s vitality is driven by its highly-skilled workforce and diverse industrial ecosystem, which directly reside within numerous critical infrastructure sectors as defined by the Department of Homeland Security.

Because the health of this ecosystem is delicately tied to its resilience and continuity, Launch utilizes strategic partnerships when planning or evaluating land use and infrastructure initiatives. Members of the Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Sub-Committee strategically collaborate with land use and infrastructure planners to promote awareness and support the integration of risk reducing measures within the infrastructure domains across the Tennessee Valley.
